Humidification

by Mile High Sleeper

One of the reasons that people find PAP (Positive Airway Pressure) therapy uncomfortable is that they don’t use a PAP heated humidifier. For many people, the forced air in PAP therapy (CPAP, autoPAP, or bilevel) causes the nasal passages to become blocked. Heated, humidified air helps unblock the nasal passages, keeps the nose, throat, and mouth healthier and more comfortable, eliminates nosebleeds, and makes the therapy more comfortable, contributing to successful treatment. Some people prefer no humidification at all, and don’t get blocked or dry nasal passages or dry mouth. Read the full article here.
